ATWT:
There are any number of rumors swirling around about Colleen Zenk in the '80s, that she did not get along with Hillary Bailey Smith at the time, and that she did not get along with Jacqueline Schultz, the latter allegedly leading to an exit for Ariana Munker, who was tired of their issues. Schultz also left within a few years.
OLTL:
Jessica Tuck and Joe Lando, IIRC, discussed that they did not get along initially. I think Jessica said that when Megan had to slap Jake in a scene she was happy to do it for real.
Clint Ritchie hated BarBara Luna.
There were rumors that HBS and Robert S. Woods had issues for years, to the point where production had to push them hard to agree to let Bo and Nora reunite. They got over their differences.
B&B:
This one was heavily covered by the soap press. Hunter Tylo and Kimberlin Brown were close friends, so much so that they even joked at the time about tabloid speculation that they were lovers. In 1994, Tylo went through an absolutely insane year, including leaving B&B and leaving her husband, Michael Tylo. They later reconciled, with Hunter, IIRC, claiming that while filming a TV-movie she had been bitten by a snake and this caused her to go wild, but her relationship with Kimberlin did not recover as Kimberlin and her husband had sided with Michael during the split. I think there were rumors of restraining orders flying around and bodyguards being hired?
Y&R:
Jeanne Cooper wrote in her memoir, IIRC, about Melody Thomas Scott not speaking to her for a year or more, and she never knew why.
I think some in the cast had issues with Brenda Dickson and Margeurite Ray.
Some also had issues with Victoria Rowell and did not treat her well.
DAYS:
I think Kristain did not get on well with Peter Reckell for a while, but this was nothing in comparison to how she felt about RKK, which is one of the reasons she was fine with him returning.
Falcon Crest:
Jane Wyman had legendary feuds with Lana Turner and Robert Foxworth. She could not be filmed in scenes with Lana for much of Lana's run due to their tension. She supposedly demanded that her contract let her direct, even though she never intended to do any directing, just because she had learned that he was going to be directing episodes. She also insisted she get a larger trailer when she learned his trailer was larger than hers.
Dynasty:
Joan Collins and John Forsythe were not close, and the cast was allegedly divided between them.
